Hi All, looking to give the mounts a refresh, mainly the gearbox, and lower dog bone. obviously to get underneath the battery tray I will need to remove the battery etc. Am I likely to experience any issues, I’m reading that this causes the esp light to come on amongst several other issues...

oh my...... love is not a word i use openly but damn.... i love them!

Has anyone got this done, and if so how much roughly am i expecting to pay? id like to go to 25mm spacers all round on my phase 1 however im not sure i would have the room if i had passengers.

good idea to take pictures, i will bare that in mind when i get tyres done next time. :)

thanks mate, yea they were pretty simple to fit, i removed the plastic sump gaurd and supported the engine with a trolly jack and soft peice of wood. Then removed all the existing mounts and replaced with the new uprated mounts, before tightening them up fully i unsupported the engine and...

minus the roof rack...... id love this!

im interested in this also.... would like the same size spacers :)

you are correct, although my reply is very late :)

Re: T5MY G's saxo vtr - Recaro pole positions/b8's/carbon/saxsport/stripped! im really enjoying reading this project, great work. lots of track boys have opted for the C5 steelies but they do get very hot after abuse on track so expect the paint to bubble up. i do like where your going with...

Totally agree.... discount/budget same thing lol

you went the wrong way then hahaa, you turned toward discount tyres! budget was right at the roundabout we departed lol

lol.... yes im also EXTREMELY happy about going back to the OEM/stealth look. so much happier with the car now.

im kinda liking those wind deflectors :) car is immaculate.... very nice car you have there mate.

keep the wheels all black and lose all the orange and silly stickers its to "in your face" and not for a good reason, drop the back a little more an it would look alot nicer IMO. certainly a case where less is more for this car would be perfect. oh and please educate the individual who said...

i then decided to give the calipers a lick of paint..... however there is brake dust on them now so pics dont look so great. at first thought i believed i had made a mistake with the colour choice, but now im more than happy with the colour scheme. after searching through this forum, i...

my next modifiaction was to fit an exhaust, one came up on this forum at a good price so i bought it, would have stuck with the standard system however the centre section had a huge hole appearing so rather than buy standard again i purchased this.... excuse the dirty pics. car sounded so...

i then decided that the engine mounts were totally rubbish as i gained the common fault of the exhaust fowling the subframe so i got on the phone to Ktec and order engine mounts in my infinite wisdom i decided to try and cut my finger off, so i had to stop here on this weekend. good old...

Well ive had the clio for a good few months and decided that its about time i started a project thread.... i dont have any pictures from when i purchased it but im sure we all know what a standard phase 1 looks like :) first modification was to get it lower, now i know most of you are going to...

was probably me, my ex missus brother lives there so prob on my way to see him. yea i was down cineworld the other night, although it was filthy that night. is yours a black/dark one, as i vaguley remember a black sport behind me on the way to Caerleon a few weeks ago?

Didnt realise that the cup i following down the heidenhiem into cwmbran today was a member on here, clean looking cup you have there mate. from cwmbran and yea it has the yellow calipers, its a bit low :) thanks for the positive comments, just want to make it a little cleaner and possibly...

got mine two weeks ago for 10.50 gotta love trade for knocking a few pennies off :) think i went a bit overboard securing using 18 self tappers but i like to the its a part of the bumper for life now. i personally like the way it looks, good find to the original thread starter.

i do love the way the clio drives but..... oh my that is beautiful IMO.

no fighting now, lets be gentlemen... i agree though it is all about personal preference and what makes you feel happy when you look out your window and see your pride and joy, and the way it makes you feel everytime you sit behind the wheel.

you cheap charlie :)

reading some of these i think your all mad, dont think i could stomach paying the amounts your paying id rather walk call me cheap but wouldnt anyone rather wait till their insurance came down?

i had the vti's with a few items from the ek9 engine... and to be honest i found it very lethargic lower down but christ did it come alive around 5k, would litterally tear lumps out of the clio 172 i have but........ for all its engineering and following it is a fantastic car but never made me...

some nice pictures there, havent been to a meet in years lol
